... Wow.

Just so you know, RAM contents does not persist across reboots... meaning rebooting the phone would, in effect, wipe your RAM*... making everything beyond 'reboot' a load of BS. And you really don't need to "defragment" your RAM, since RAM is random access (meaning it can arbitrarily jump between pages without issue), and already has virtual memory as an abstraction on it anyways. The only time that might be an issue is with some hardware devices that want to be fed contiguous chunks of physical memory (which may or may not exist in the Fascinate).

* Technically some of the contents will persist for a short time, but that's only of interest to forensic analysis... not something that Linux would care about.

[Fascinate General] tripacer99:
Ohhhhh man...i'm sorry, but I honestly tried to not laugh. I lost.
[Fascinate General] worwig:
It is entirely possible that the memory management will start leaving some wasted 'holes' in ram, and you can recover some space by rebooting the phone. Or simply program memory leaks. IF you are running out of ram.

But a simple reset is all that is needed.

No idea what the battery pull and hold down the power button is going to do for RAM.

I have an old MP3 player that the settings would occasionally get scrambled on. The setting were obviously held in a tiny SRAM, and pulling the battery, and holding the power button for a while, would kill the SRAM and reset it. I guess there might be a small equivalent on this phone, but it would not have anything to do with DRAM. It may kill the hardware clock and reset a few other minor hardware items, but not main DRAM.

This technique helped with my lower back pain! Thanks Ave!
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Classic tech support BS, nothing more. The only possible benefit you might get by pressing the power button with the battery pulled out is to ensure that the phone is completely drained of all residual power. That's been something I've always been told to do with a laptop before taking it apart to work on the guts of it, though I question whether or not there's actually any real world benefit to doing so. Defragment the RAM.....wow. Epic moron.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentlythp:
I would just use a terminal emulator and move it back. I personally haven't treid it but should still work. Or just move it back with a root explorer :)

If you have a terminal emulator app just open it up

Su

Cd to where you saved the apk on your sd card

Mv htclockscreen.apk /system/app/

I am pretty sure that its in system/app anyway. Sorry my evo is powered off but that's where its at on my shift. Once its there just reboot the phone. It should be back the way was. Hope that helps.

Guess I should clarify that you don't need to actually install it. You just need to get it back into the directory that it needs to be in then reboot

If your not sure about that buy root explore from the market name just copy and paste.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caleby20:
As trentlythp said, you dont actually "install" the .apk. It just has to be in the /system/app folder. Try copying the htclockscreen.apk to that folder then reboot and see what happens.

[HTC Inspire 4G] .Candy:
I'm moving from a Samsung Captivate to this phone very soon. I was just looking around to familiarize myself with different things about these two phones.

One thing about my device (Captivate) that I love is the Odin software that allows you to flash back to stock. Is there anything like that for the HTC Inspire 4G? Or any way to get back to stock no matter what state the phone is in (as long as it's not a hard brick)?

Also, what is a Gold Card? I've seen the term used everywhere with absolutely no explanation! And what is s-off'ing your phone do?

Thanks (:
[HTC Inspire 4G] shep211:
There is no app like odin but its really hard to break a htc device. I have bricked a captivate with bad odin flash and have never bricked a htc phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] .Candy:
But how, if I wanted to, would I get back to stock? Like if I flash a custom ROM (let's say CM7), how would I get back to stock?

And still, what's s-off and gold card?

I also haven't seen anything on tethering (Mobile AP... I use this all the time on my Captivate).
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Yes all you need to do is flash the ruu which is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952224

Then simply turn S-ON use bubby's one click here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406

S-OFF is turning the security off so you can flash custom roms.

The gold card enables you to root the phone and turn s-off.

hope this answers your questions.

edit: I also think its flashing with CWM is a tad better then flashing with odin because you backup and recover your rom exactly as it was. All you need a computer to do is put the rom.zip on your sd card then you flash the rom from the phone and not your computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Note that it is recommended to get S-On BEFORE running the RUU to get back to stock
[HTC Inspire 4G] alwayslearning:
once you do some reading and root your first HTC phone you will find it is so much easier than your captivate and you will never what to go back :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] .Candy:
I'm still utterly confused as to where to start, and it's getting frustrating.

The Captivate forums at least had a sticky telling someone who just got their phone for the first time how to get started. There's nothing like that here. I'm afraid to do anything... I feel like I might brick it.

My main point: how would I flash my first ROM? What do I do? In what order?

All assuming that this is on a stock ROM, just as it is out of the box. I haven't changed anything (installed a few apps, but nothing that would affect rooting/flashing stuff).

Thanks :\

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I'll be honest with you. The only experience I had with android was flashing my wife's captivate with the leaked froyo with odin. I came from a blackberry bold to the inspire (bought it outright). So I can tell you I was pretty confused, about what to do and how to do it. The link the posted above is how I did mine for the most part. To be completely honest it looks a lot more confusing then it really is. I just followed the instructions on the video to a tee, and followed the dev's instructions for flashing their rom. Once you do it the first time its simple after that. Almost all the dev's read their threads and will answer any question you have, as long as you ask politely. I know this doesn't help you very much, but I just want to assure you that it is not as hard as it looks by any means.

Does anyone have a Class-10 MicroSDHC card running on their Atrix? If so, how's it performing? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceverson70:
Ya I want to know this too has someone tried different classes?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
i have class 4, 6, and 10 and honestly i cannot tell the difference under normal use. The only reason I got class 6 then upgraded to class 10 was for apps2sd on my nexus. I havnet done any formal tests, but from practical, every day use, no difference.

I do transfer files a lot from pc to phone so of course class 10 transfers them quicker. But normally you are not running many things off of SD, maybe music, which class 2 or 4 is good enough for.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I am still on the good old 4 GB card I bought a couple years ago. Fares pretty good for all day-to-day activities.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
I just put in a class 6 16GB and I don't notice that big of a difference. I don't think you'd really notice a difference unless you were looking hard.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgeissler:
The higher the class of card, the faster the read/write speeds are. Things is, you will only see these speeds if you are transferring big files. If you are just putting MP3's and small videos on the card, you won't see much of a difference. Sequential Write speeds are significantly faster than Random Write speeds, but Sequential Read speeds vs Random Read speeds, there is not much difference.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabesh:
Have you tried the Class-10 card in the Atrix? If so, which model/size is it? Thx.

Everyone: Thanks for your inputs!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Class Speed rating ONLY applies to WRITE speeds - has nothing to do with read speeds. Primarily designated for camcorders and other devices that need guaranteed minimum speed for writing data.

The camcorder on the phone doesn't require a specific card class, so spending money on higher speed cards is not a great idea. If you are copying movies from pc to sd regularly then it will save you a bit of time - that is all.

http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ and wikipedia explain SD speed pretty simply.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willgill:
I bought the Lexmar 32gig class 10. I don't see a huge difference unless I'm loading up the card with a lot of files at once.

Yes its as fast as the Patriot from all the specs I've seen but unless you can truly afford the minor difference, just get a lower class.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
Saw a post FROM MOTO on the moto forums that says the Atrix can make use of the extra speed up to Class10.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerlock13:
My Kingston class 10 32GB card does not play nice with webtop2sd. However, I can format it with the system. I have not tried to write files to it but writing fat32 filesystems works for sure. It seems as if I can read from the card too. I see the folder created during the fat32 partition creation.

The issue I seem to have is that it cannot create extfs filesystems on the card using the phone. I can use gparted to make the filesystem, but then webtop2sd cannot read it.

I am experiencing a iphone like death grip on my atrix. Anyone else?
[Atrix 4G General] tekonus:
Nope, not one bit.

Edit: By not one bit, I mean that under normal circumstances of me holding the phone how I normally would it does not drop even 1 bar. I've made no attempt to purposefully smother it because thats well... stupid. If it works how you use it, why do you care if you can go out of your way to smother out a signal?
[Atrix 4G General] shea-bird:
care to elaborate?
[Atrix 4G General] fulnix:
tried it, like on any phone out there...it goes down a bit but not badly. I even tried to smother it with both hands while running pandora, it dropped one bar. I'm not concerned with it. Motorola has been building radios for a long time, they know how to do that stuff.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Every single phone loses some signal when you basically cover it with your hands and squeeze. The reason the iphone was singled out so bad was because you could basically use one finger to short out the antenna and lose like 3 plus bars.
[Atrix 4G General] trapjawmusic:
Although I did manage to make it lose 2 bars of signal strength. My Vulcan death grip did not work. I then realized it was a Borg, as it proceeded to assimilate me.
[Atrix 4G General] xorpion:
Mine usually goes to 1 bar when i hold the phone in left hand. Was just curious.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
goes to one bar from full bars or were you already in a low signal area?
[Captivate General] haeffnkr:
Hello,

I know there are a lot of threads on this topic but I tried to use what I learned on this forum to get out of my own jam with local parts.

Disclaimer - I am not responsible for you doing further damage to your phone.

History -

Tried to restore captivate to stock, got phone in download mode - started Odin... looked like things were not starting correctly... pulled usb and battery out... and BOOM.

I got the dreaded phone=computer type display and could not get out of no matter what buttons/battery hold down combo I tried. Note this phone did not support the 3 button trick- it was a 10.07 version.

So -

Go to your local Radio Shack and get part numbers 271-1347 (100k ohm) and 271-1321 (1K ohm) resistors.

Also you need a solder iron and some solder...buy that if you dont have any.

(a meter is nice to have too... but not entirely necessary)

Take your USB cable apart. I had 2 styles of ebay cables... I used the one with bigger shield/jacket. Just look at it, it pops apart at the seams.

Then you see the where the cable is soldered to the micro usb jack.

Before this step... I cut the cable in half and was planning to use the wires for connection points .. not the jack itself but that did not work.

In this cable there are 4 wires...but on the jack there is 5 pins.... and of COURSE pin #4 is the one I need but it has no wire attached to it. ( I found this all out after using my meter on this assembly for a few head scratching minutes...also...if you twist a stripped bread tie to your meter lead it helps in ohming out the pins...)

So - back to the solution

Pin #5 has/had the black wire on it and #4 has NO wire attached on the micro jack.

To clarify - if you are looking at the jack with the pins showing - pins and connections to #4 and #5 are on the right end of the jack - one on the top and one on the bottom of the jack...hope that is clear... if not the pics should make more sense.

Now that you know where the #4 and #5 pins are on the jack, go get the Radio Shack resistors and turn on your solder iron.

Take 3 - 100K resistors and 1 - 1k resistor... Twist the resistors together in series...and solder the joints... then trim the ends up....see the picks.

Take the now cobbled together 301K ohm resistor and solder one end to pin #5 and the other to pin #4. (note you will have to unsolder the black wire from #5 BEFORE you can solder the resistor to it...assuming your jack/cable is like mine..)

Now -

With no sim, memory card, or battery plug installed, plug in this cobbled up mess into your phone.....then put in the battery....

If you did it right it... the phone will go into download mode in seconds.

Pull out the mess and put in your good cable (or put yours back together) and use ODIN as usual.

This saved my butt.

Hope this post might work for someone else some day.

Thanks for all who posted here showing me what is needed to make this work.

thanks Kevin

Thanks for the great write-up. What is the reasoning behind what makes this device work? What is it about the device that makes the phone go into download mode? Just curious.

[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Because the phone was designed that way... Certain resistances on usb port will trigger the phone to do different things. 301 is download mode there is one for car dock and others i would imagine
[Captivate General] Soccer_Dad:
I've been enjoying mobiletechvideos video reviews of the roms and instructions on how to do stuff, so I ordered a $10 jig as a combination donation/insurance policy. If you enjoy the video reports, throw Josh a bone and grab a USB 301 ohm jig.

I suspect it's easier to store than the resistor model. ;)

Although I'm sure if I was in the OP's shoes, I wouldn't have waited for delivery either. Interesting about the only pin that doesn't have a connection is the one that you need to put the resistor across. I suspect that was completely by design.
[Captivate General] FroggyStyle:
I was able to use three 100k-ohm (300ohm) 1/2 watt resistors (radio shack #271-1131). And because I didn't have a extra cord to hack up I just taped up the resistors and was able to touch the two points and get it to work :)

This forum is a great resource for good information.
[Captivate General] haeffnkr:
That is exactly why I went down this road -

I had to get this fixed quickly and not wait for something to come in the mail... or maybe come in the mail.

I also saw Josh's video and promptly ordered a jig from Josh on 2/24 I also sent a follow up email to Josh a few days later.

So far I have heard nothing from him and have not seen the jig in the mail.

EDIT - Received the jig from Josh today 3/2.

Sometimes you have to take matters in your own hands, so speak and I got my phone up and working in 24 hours... if I had the time to run to Radio Shack that night it bricked, could have been resolved in a couple hours.

thanks/good luck to all
